			<h2>The David Mayfield Parade</h2>
			<p><strong>Playing Friday evening @ Visulite Theater for the Welcoming Party</strong></p>
			<p>If you've seen David Mayfield perform with The Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, Jessica Lea Mayfield, or at Bonnaroo, you've caught the charisma, the heart, and the comedy, and it's likely you'll come back for more. David Mayfield grew up playing bass and touring with his family's bluegrass band. As a teenager he established himself as a hot picker collecting national awards for his dexterity on guitar and mandolin. His knack for colorful performances was evident as a backing player in his sister Jessica Lea Mayfield's band including their appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman." Conscious of not just being a musician, but an entertainer - something his father instilled in him in the family band - he certainly makes an impression live. But it's the strength of his songwriting and musicianship, combined with that charm and personality that keep audiences coming back again and again.</p>

			<h2>Truckstop Preachers</h2>
			<p><strong>Playing Friday evening @ Visulite Theater for the Welcoming Party</strong></p>
			<p>When today's country music is driven by cowboy wanna-be's and prom queens who couldn't cut it on MTV, Truckstop Preachers make it a point to deliver freight loads of raw honky tonk music to their audience. Each member of the Truckstop clergy bring their own background to form the sound heard from the stage! This cross denominational background creates a unique mix of honky tonk that is hard to describe. Their trucking and rockabilly stylings have transformed audiences into loyal fans of the music and shows. It's clear to see that the interstates will run long and wide for these evangelists as they spread the good word of country music!</p>
